How Ukrainians Can Obtain Pension Rights in Poland: Key Requirements.

Citizens of Ukraine working in Poland can receive a pension from the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) if they meet the legislative requirements, reports InPoland.

To be eligible for the Polish pension, Ukrainians need to have legal employment in Poland, regularly pay pension contributions, reach retirement age, and have sufficient insurance experience. According to international agreements, Ukrainians can count work periods both in Poland and Ukraine.

Possibility of Receiving Two Pensions

Ukrainian workers can receive pensions simultaneously from both Poland and Ukraine. ZUS pays pensions for the period of work in Poland, while in Ukraine, payments are made by the State Pension Fund. The amount of the Polish pension depends on the contributions paid and can be issued even for one day of work.

Additional Benefits for Residents

Foreigners who are permanent residents of Poland can receive additional benefits such as the thirteenth and fourteenth pensions. However, the supplement to the minimum pension is available only for residents who permanently live in Poland.

With the growing number of Ukrainians working in Poland, the issue of pension provision is becoming more relevant. The pension provision system in Poland demonstrates the possibilities of integrating Ukrainian workers into the Polish social system while complying with all legislative requirements.

The conditions for obtaining a Polish pension for Ukrainian citizens are defined by legislative requirements but can serve as an additional incentive for Ukrainians working in Poland to legally secure their future. This also opens up opportunities for obtaining two pensions simultaneously, which is an important financial support for Ukrainians at retirement age. By adhering to all requirements, Ukrainians can benefit from both Polish and Ukrainian pensions, receiving maximum possible financial support.
